Delve in to the dark past of the Dark Angels legion with this fantastic novel. Knight of the Angelicasta. Saviour of the Lion. Grand Master of the Order. Lord of the Dark Angels. Protector of Caliban. Chaos Heretic. Destroyer of Caliban. Sorcerer of the Abyss. Arch-traitor. Dark Oracle. First of the Fallen. Can one man be all of these things? Kept alive and imprisoned for ten thousand years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy in a single, long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unravel across ten bloody millennia. Luther claims repentance for his past deeds, but was it his sins that condemned the Chapter to its secretive fate, or should warnings from history have been more closely heeded?  … (plus d'informations)

Excellent book on one of the most guarded secrets in W40k universe. Luther, once a second hand of Lion himself is imprisoned in the deep bowels of the Rock. Story is split into blocks that depict continuous interrogations of the Luther by series of Dark Angels' Grand Masters. As we see Luther feeling greatly disoriented and brought to the brink of insanity by very knowledge of what he did, his treason of Lion's confidence we also follow slow spiral to madness of the very Dark Angels Legion. And it is very disturbing picture we see - it is like watching a very sick man going through very difficult phases in life, sometimes not able to cope with their condition.

Man on brink of madness but sane enough to warn the very Legion he once belonged to with his stories of caution, and that very Legion becoming more and more engulfed in zealotry and religious craze, understanding that they need to get information from Luther but also going crazy because they are not sure how can they believe him. Its a close circuit of craziness.

Excellent book. I truly hope there is hope for Dark Angels. Once glorious First they have become such a schizophrenic military outfit that they truly need intervention, fast, for them to remain defenders of the humanity.

Great addition to the W40K lore. Highly recommended. ( )
